MINI Cooper S Engine Has The Wow Factor And An Award To Prove It!

And the award goes to ‘the engine that runs the Mini Cooper S’, this was the announcement made at the 2012 International Engine of the Year Awards. The 2012 competition saw the prize in the 1.4 litre to 1.8 litre displacement class handed over to the engine that drives the Mini. Baring in mind it’s success last year this shouldn’t come as a surprise, as the 1.6-litre-four-cylinder develops a whopping peak output of 135kW with the help of a twin-scroll turbocharger.

The success of this engine can not just be put to its eagerness to deliver power but the exemplary efficiency it shows for its class. This is another success for BMW which took over Mini in 2000.
